Source: A Fortran-IV Subroutine Package that Models Several Naturally Occurring Energy Inputs to the Mesosphere.

Abstract

This report documents the natural energy input models used in the BENCHMARK-76 and ECLIPSE-66 studies. Energy sources included are solar x-rays, solar ultra-violet and visible light, galactic cosmic rays, and precipitated electrons. These energy sources and their interactions with the atmosphere were modeled over the range 40-100 km altitude. (Author)
